Resources
A short and deliberately light collection of resources that I find useful.
Resources for research
Writing scientific documents:
- The first thing is to know how to write in English. The Elements of Style is a short book that will show you the way (a well-known professor, who is also an excellent person, says that it is a piece of art).
- The second thing is to know how to write scientific documents. There are many tips and recommendations on the web. Among the best are the ones at Prof. Bertsekas' website.
- The third thing is to know how to prepare slides for a scientific presentation. I have not found a good website for this yet. Please, feel free to contact me if you have any suggestion.
Software:
Tools change so fast that it is hard to keep track of them, so I will not try to provide an up-to-date list. I will only mention one that has served me well for years: IguanaTeX, a free tool to type LaTeX formulas in PowerPoint.
Useful links:
- ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems).
- EURASIP (European Association for Signal Processing).
- IEEE Signal Processing Society.
- IEEE Communications Society.
- IEEE Computer Society.
- Websites on optimization: convexoptimization.com and its wiki.
- Website on network science: Complex Networks (Cx-Nets), which collects the work of several groups working on network science.
Resources for teaching
I still believe that books are an essential tool for learning, and most of them have online supporting material that can be freely accessed. Once you have worked with them, they can be complemented with an intelligent use of LLMs (examples, demos, concept maps...), as long as their answers are checked. For online courses, see my teaching page.
Other stuff
I like history, politics, arts... I try to watch movies, read books and listen to podcasts as much as I can. The number of resources is so high that I will not provide references for these :-)
I almost forgot! If you are a Ph.D. student (or you are thinking about that), you should visit PHD Comics.
